- nativeit 3y agoIt’s too bad law enforcement don’t seem to be held to any standards at all, then maybe folks who are not generally equipped to make legal determinations won’t be accountable for erring just because an unscrupulous officer or prosecutor misleads and/or intimidates them.
- BeetleB 3y agoPharmacists are more overworked than video store clerks. By a huge margin. They're also not treated well by the major pharmacy chains.
- aetch 3y agoToo bad they aren’t paid or treated at a higher standard.

And for that matter, I doubt the video store law applies to bookstores. (A judge confirmation process ran in trouble because of video rental records - so a law was written ... which addresses only video rental. For maximum inefficiency or something.)
